Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs small yellow potatoes
- 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh parsley or chives for serving
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot with salted water. You want enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooling, preheat the oven to 450 F and coat a baking sheet with olive oil. You might need two baking sheets depending on the size of yours.
- Place each potato on the prepared baking sheet. Using a measuring cup or glass, smash the potatoes down until they’re about ½ inch thick.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until potatoes are crispy and golden around the edges, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. Don’t flip the potatoes! Be sure to keep an eye on them towards the end of cooking because they can easily go from golden to burnt. Remove from the oven when the potatoes have reached your desired level of crispness.
- Serve warm with fresh parsley or chives
